A New Tower of Babel.

The Eiffel Tower, 1000 feet high, which
is to be the chief feature of the next Paris
Exposition, has been commenced, and no
doubts are entertained of its being ready
to astound the thousands of visitors who
will flock to the gay city in 1889.
The Use of the Eifiel Tower will be for
meteorological and astronomical observa-
tions; for experiments in physics, more
particularly concerning the laws of weight
and of falling bodies. twill be post for
strategical observations mo unimportant
matte in view of the past history of
France) and for optical telegraphy; and
magnificent electric lighthouse. Bat. after
all, it is not for use that the tower will be
built, but for the amusement and pleasure
of Paris and its visitors
The lower part of the tower will be a
pyramid OF iron, made of four bent arches
tapering upward, and of very decorative
design. The hight of these arches will be
about so metres (l65 feet; their basis.
from axis to axis, will be about 100 metres,
or 10 yards, apart. The summit of this
pyramid of arches will be the first stage or
story, and round this will be glass gallery,
containing cafes, restaurants, etc, and of a
superficial area of 1920 metres (4,55O
square yards.
The second stage, which rises up from
the first, on a somewhat similar plan of
construction, to total hight from the
ground of $50 metres (465 fect(. also
terminates with a glass gallery, with an
area Of 900 square metres (975 square
yards. The summit of the tower is now
gracefully led up to by tapering columns
of iron network, which terminate in a
cupola with a balcony 60 metres (195 feet
, round. from which enormous elevation,
close on 1000 feet, a magnificent panorama
i will be visible.
The ascent of the first stage will be
made by four lifts and four staircases.
From the first to the second stage there
, will he only the four lifts, and from the sec
ond stage 10 the cupola two lifts. The du-
! ration of the whole ascent to the top of the
tower will be from six to seven minutes.
The weight of the tower will he fifteen
and a half million pounds. The normal
resistance of the tower to the wind has
been calculated at go pounds per square
meter, or double the force of the strongest
| tempests. \ wind force of 670 pounds to
the square meter would not only possibly
destroy the Eifel Tower, but would GER
/ tainly raze to the ground almost every
public building in the French metropolis.
Danger from lightning has been care
fully guarded against the vast tower will
act as an enormous lightning conductor.
